[Desert Fox]

Not sure if any of the North American members here are familiar with the Murdoch Murdoch series on YouTube but if not then definitely check it out.

Can't say I've heard of it...and well I'll try and watch it some time when I have the patience.

Are you sure you're Pakistani living in Pakistan, bro? Just playing with you.
Quite a bit of history the US has in just under 300 years. The pace and accomplishments are like none other.

Speaking of statues, the most photographed statue here in Boston is Paul Revere, as the history of Massachusetts is much more pilgrim/colonial rich more so than anything else. A lot of the stuff that is historical is of that time period, from the famous Plymouth Rock...

It's authenticity is somewhat questionable...but we just go with it!

to some of the popular figures in US history such as John Adams, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe and probably the most popular one to tourists is Paul Revere. But his story is also a bit questionable, specifically his horseback ride and how far he actually traveled to warn the British were coming. But his statue is probably the most popular one in Boston.

Then of course there's the Boston Tea Party, the battle of Bunker Hill and other colonial period historical events that took place here.

Always a fun boat ride to come down from Salem to Boston Harbor and get to the Boston Tea Party boat.

Speaking of ghosts, the town of Salem is known for the the house of seven gables and the infamous witch trials. A beautiful sea-side town. @Hamartia Antidote I'm sure has been up this way.

Witch house at Salem Witch Village.

Well I grew up there (in the states) and spent most of my life there. But yes I am currently in Pakistan.

Indeed. America has a rich history. Too bad the younger generations don't have much appreciation of it. This is mostly due to the education that indoctrinates them to hate their own heritage. Even I as a kid growing up found American history to be very boring and strictly confined to select historical events while omitting or skimming through the rest.

But if course when one visits the land marks, sites of famous battles, sees the historical monuments, only then does one begin to have an appreciation for American history.
